Simultaneous removal of antimony and arsenic by nano-TiO2-crosslinked chitosan (TA-chitosan) beads

TL;DR: In this paper , nano-TiO2 was incorporated in the chitosan matrix to synthesize an efficient adsorption material nano-titania-crosslinked CHITOSAN beads, which was used to simultaneous removal of Sb and As from aqueous solution.

Efficient removal of Sb(Ⅴ) from water using sulphidated ferrihydrite via tripuhyite (FeSbO4) precipitation and complexation

TL;DR: In this article , the authors synthesized sulphidated ferrihydrite with different S:Fe molar ratios to efficiently remove Sb(V) from water, and the removal performance was well described by the pseudo-second-order model, suggesting that the removal process was controlled via chemisorption.

Removal of antimonate (Sb(V)) from aqueous solutions and its immobilization in soils with a novel Fe(III)-modified montmorillonite sorbent

TL;DR: In this article, the efficacy of Fe(III)-modified montmorillonite (Mt) (Fe-Mt), for the removal of Sb(V) from aqueous solutions with Sb (V) concentration in the range of 0.2 − 1 mmol L−1 and immobilization in soils spiked with 250 mg Sb[V] kg−1 was investigated.

The composition of the continental crust

TL;DR: In this paper, a new calculation of the crustal composition is based on the proportions of upper crust (UC) to felsic lower crust (FLC) to mafic lower-crust (MLC) of about 1.6:0.4.

Quantitative assessment of worldwide contamination of air, water and soils by trace metals

TL;DR: Calculated loading rates of trace metals into the three environmental compartments demonstrate that human activities now have major impacts on the global and regional cycles of most of the trace elements.
